Through the rigorous but non-intimidating learning environment Lynette creates, her students acquire skills to become competent attorneys; through the case work and clients, they become more compassionate individuals, and through exposure to Lynette’s high ethical standards and commitment to always do what is right, students’ consciences are sharpened.
